All weapon styles can be added to the Legion Dressing Room and can be browsed on the "Appearances" tab in the Artifact Calculator.\r\r\r \r \r \r \r \r\r\r\rEnhancement Shaman Artifact Acquisition\r\rMany players are wondering how Thrall would part with his iconic Doomhammer, which now serves as the Enhancement Shaman Artifact Weapon in Legion. You'll get the full story in Le marteau des profondeurs.\r\rIn the introductory questline for all Shaman to select an artifact weapon, you aid the Earthen Ring and fight off demons. If you choose the Enhancement Shaman option, you will be directed to retrieve the Doomhammer, which has fallen into the Maelstrom during the previous battle.\r\rInside the Crumbling Depths, you follow the Fel Blood trail of the wounded demon Geth'xun. When you finally confront Geth'xun, he is struggling to take the Doomhammer, which automatically encases itself in rock when Geth'xun is near. However, you are able to wield the Doomhammer, and then use it to defeat Geth'xun!\r\rThrall, watching on the sidelines after previously being wounded in the initial battle, meditates:\rThe Doomhammer chose you, shaman. Already you wield it with a power I have never tapped into.\rI must go my own way. I have a lot of thinking to do. Aggra will be at the Maelstrom shortly - listen to her counsel, she has taught me so much.\rGo back to the Earthen Ring. Bring them together. Turn their might against the Legion. This is your time.\r\r\rUpon turning the quest in, Stormcaller Myrla comments:\rThe Orcs had a prophecy about the Doomhammer. It was said that a stranger will raise the hammer high, and with it, justice shall reign. Maybe...maybe YOU were meant to be that stranger all along.\r\r\rVal'sharah Druid Disguises\rWe've previously covered Val'sharah's scenery, dungeons, battle pets, and toys - but the zone still has fun elements we're still discovering! Val'sharah is all about Druidic lore, so it only makes sense that the ground is literally covered in items that let all players temporarily look like shapeshifted Druids.\r\rRelique d'Elune, Relique de Shakama, and Relique d'Ursol transforms the player into a shapeshifted Druid for one minute. During this time, you look like a Druid under the effects of Incarnation and have a special action bar to use.\r\rThese items can only be looted in Val'sharah but currently work in any zone.\r\r

"...so it only makes sense that the ground is literally covered in items that let all players temporarily look like shapeshifted Druids".

Class identity and uniqueness, amiright?

It's fine, it's not permanent. You can currently transmog to iconic appearances of other classes, or also resemble a Druid with various potions\/toys that replicate appearances.

Something interesting is that at BlizzCon, we interviewed the art director and he said they purposely tried to make the brand-new Artifacts look cooler to offset famous weapons like Dommhammer having tons of lore points already.

Well the taste is like the butt, its split and all are different.\r\rSelf I don't think the Doomhammer is basic at all. The first one may be a bit basic but the other's are more the opposite. Same as I think the rogue artifacts, especially outlaw's, is looking great.

Soooooooo.... The Enhancement off-hand can only be Fiery? I really hope they plan to add more styles to the off-hand

Ohhh; @Perculia - what is the doll over your right shoulder (in the display case) in these videos? My grand-daughters love it & what to know if it's a limited edition or generally available...

Elemental Shaman Artifact aquisition: tie in with Temple of the White Tiger alludes to the "Old Pandarian Gods" being elemental in origin, maybe...?

That one is an SDCC exclusive for con-goers - Panser helped me get one via a friend. It's a deluxe version of the dolls behind me, and Raven Queen has some other elaborate dolls that are available year-round like Thronecoming. Another collector's quality doll (exclusive to Amazon) is Draculaura 1600. Hope this helps!

FTR... Lame-tonnerre, épée bénie du Cherchevent is an Agi. 1H sword, so why is everyone 'no comprende' that the "Skywall" model would be for Outlaw Rogue...?\r\rOhhh; @Perculia - what is the doll over your right shoulder (in the display case) in these videos?

It was an AGI weapon at a point and time in WoW where Agi benefited many classes. FTR... it's proc, resistances, armor gained from AGI AND attack speed which at a point in the game was not very good for DPS since Slow weapons like Krol Blade gained far more damage from Instant attacks meant it was an Amazing Tank weapon. Tanks mostly being Warriors at the time. Meaning there is just as much or more reason for it to be a Warrior Artifact than a Rogue one.

Is what happened to Alleria covered by a NDA & released on a 'need to know' basis?

Is what happened to Alleria covered by a NDA & released on a 'need to know' basis?\r\rProbably not in game yet - I would presume she is important enough so her (and Turalyon's) main storyline will be available for everyone, not just single spec.\rMight be quests in zone(s) not yet unlocked, or max-level storyline.

I don't know anything else about Alleria yet - I imagine that Blizzard is purposely not including any more info about her that could be datamined.

Are those druid disguises functional? I mean, you say its got an action bar, but do those actions do any damage? Also, seems problematic to put in an item that would give even temporary stealth to nonstealthies without going through the normal class skill or profession channels.

Thunderaan(the windseeker) is the son of Al'Akir(the Windlord)Thunderaan's essence is in TF - Al'Akir's essence is in Fists of the HeavensSkywall is the Air Elemental Plane similar to Firelands is to Ragnaros and Fire Elemental PlaneAs Perculia pointed out - Skywall regards anything and everything Windwalker in the Alpha, which is why they're confused since WW entails Fist WeaponsElementium is found in Uldum (where the fists were made) and Thunderfury is made from ElementiumAl'Buraq and Alra'ed is Arabic for "Lightning" and "Thunder"Most of the Air Elementals in the game seem to be associated to Arabian culture (visuals, names, etc)

They seemingly recreated Thunderfury, which leads me to think Monk is the best candidate. Would solve the problem of being pigeonholed into the least amount of transmog choices if it was an actual sword as well, although it's still a lookalike and still unconfirmed as to who will get it. Wouldn't be surprised if Rogue or Prot Warrior got it, I can only imagine the hissy fit the community would throw* if Monk got\/gets it - considering Doomhammer went to Enhance and the whole Elemental Artifact quest is more Monk while the Windwalker Artifact is more Shaman, anything is plausible.
